Dear colleagues The local Andalucia’s government has just announced a 2-year postdoc grant with excellent conditions to carry out research in the south of Spain (http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/economiainnovacionyciencia/talentia/?q=node/…). The grant consists of a 24 months contract including: 1)Gross salary: 52295.34 euros 2)Travelling allowance: (total for the 2 years) a.Europe-Europe: 627.54 euros (1255.09 euros if travelling with family) b.Europe-America: 1568.86 euros (3137.72 euros if travelling with family) c.Europe-Asia/rest of the word: 2091.81 euros (4183.63 euros if travelling with family) 3)Mobility allowance: 5020,35 euros/year (8785.62 euros/year) if travelling with family. 4)Research project: 5020.35 euros (if research is not done in a lab), 7530.53 euros for lab research. The University of Granada has just inaugurated a new research center, the Brain, Mind and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC-UGR; http://cimcyc.ugr.es <http://cimcyc.ugr.es/?lang=en>). The centre shares the goal of understanding how mental processes and behaviour emerge from normal brain activity, and how behavioral problems relate to the breakdown of brain functioning. The CIMCYC is composed by several research teams devoted to the study of all aspects of Psychology, encompassing Clinical and Health Psychology, Human Development, Applied Psychology, Higher Cognitive functions and social interactions. Home to the Functional Magnetic Resonance Unit of the University of Granada, the leading neuroimaging tool of Southern Spain, the CIMCYC hosts and trains over 250 researchers, and hold collaborations with over 50 researchers throughout the world. We will be pleased to support applications from post-doc researchers (who should have defended their PhD no longer than 10 years ago). We are mainly interested in profiles for professionals with proven experience in research employing MRI in humans, from the field of psychology, biology, physics, or engineering, who are proficient in the acquisition and analysis of MRI human data. Applications are to be filled-in in Spanish, although projects can be written in English. The research project should not exceed one page in length, and should include two further sections specifying the impact of the scholarship for the applicant’s career development and the relevance and impact for research performed in Andalucia (with no specified word count). Deadline for final applications is the 26^th April 2014, and the resolution is expected for the 26^th July 2014. For any further information please contact Maria Ruz (mruz(a)ugr.es <mailto:mruz@ugr.es>)

Fwd: Postdoc visual attention research project

by Gary Green

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in the international NWO/ESRC/DFG-funded ORAplus-cooperation project 'Tracing the template: Investigating the nature, capacity and dynamics of implicit and explicit attentional sets‘ (Profs. C. Olivers, Amsterdam; M. Eimer, London; H.J. Müller, München, S. Pollmann und M. Hanke, Magdeburg). An attentional template is a flexible representation reflecting the system’s current preferences, as derived from continuously changing task demands as well as prior selection history. The project investigates the content, capacity, format and neural representation of attentional templates. To pursue this goal, the project partners will cooperate closely, using diverse methods, including eye-movement recordings, EEG and fMRI. For the fMRI-studies that will be carried out centrally in Magdeburg, we are looking for a postdoc with fMRI-experience. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work with both an international consortium of attention researchers and in one of Germany's leading imaging facilities. Research institutions in Magdeburg, such as the Otto-von- Guericke-University, the Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and the German Center for Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, offer a multitude of research-dedicated MRI-scanners (Siemens Magnetom (7 Tesla), Siemens Trio, Siemens Verio, Siemens Skyra und Philips Achieva). The Institute of Psychology operates its own compute cluster for data analysis. This research project is performed in close collaboration of the project partners, including the opportunity to spend research stages at the participating institutions.

YNiC seminar 13th March (external speaker)

by rem

Dear Users This Thursday (4.15 pm in YNiC open plan) Dr. Carolyn McGettigan from Royal Holloway will be giving a talk on "Feel the noise: Exploring individual variability in the perception of speech and vocalizations". http://www.carolynmcgettigan.com/ Abstract: This talk will present a range of behavioural and neuroimaging studies in which explorations of individual variability in perceptual performance have yielded additional insights into the systems supporting the perception of speech and vocal cues in humans. The presentation will focus on speech recognition and perceptual adaptation processes studied using cochlear implant simulations, and will also include recent work addressing the processing of emotional vocalisations such as laughter. Everyone is welcome to attend the talk and refreshments will be served afterwards. We will be taking Carolyn out for dinner after her talk. Please let me know if you would like to join us for dinner.

Fwd: PhD position in neural self-manipulation of food reward, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

by Gary Green

PHD POSITION IN NEURAL SELF-MANIPULATION OF FOOD REWARD, ETH ZURICH, SWITZERLAND The Physiology and Behavior Laboratory, the Consumer Behavior Group and the Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich are seeking applications for a PhD position in Neural Self-Manipulation of Food Reward. This position is being offered in the context of the "Eat to Learn to Move: Reward Modulates Behavior” initiative of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology, uniting research methods and approaches from food and nutrition sciences, neurosciences, human movement sciences and medical engineering. The position is available immediately, is fully funded and will profit from strong support of and collaborations between the groups involved in the initiative and partners at the University Hospital Zurich. BACKGROUND Disorders of energy homeostasis such as obesity and under-nutrition are among the greatest challenges to human health. The major cause of obesity is overeating, which appears to be mainly due to hedonic factors overriding the homeostatic control of eating. One major component mediating the hedonic control of eating is the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway, an important part of the neural reward system. In this project, we aim to manipulate the rewarding value of specific types of food through real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rtfMRI neurofeedback) and assess the effects of this manipulation on eating habits. YOUR PROFILE We are seeking candidates with an MSc degree in psychology or a related discipline, ideally with previous experience in (rt)fMRI study design and data analysis. Good programming and signal processing skills as well as an interest in interdisciplinary research are a plus. If you are an integrative personality with good communication skills desiring to advance this topic with your independent working style, we look forward to receiving your application. WHAT WE OFFER: - a dynamic, interdisciplinary work environment among highly motivated students and staff - access to the extensive expertise and infrastructure of the department and involved laboratories - a competitive salary and excellent social benefits HOW TO APPLY Applications should be sent in a single PDF file by e-mail to Roger Gassert (gassertr(a)ethz.ch, with "PhD position in Manipulation of Food Reward" as subject) and include a motivation letter, full CV with photograph, list of publications, academic transcripts and contact information of at least two references.
